I saw a snippet from a press conference this morning where the mayor of Houston was strongly cautioning residents to evacuate or face almost certain death. He said (I'm paraphrasing slightly) that if they thought they could ride out being hit by 20-foot waves, they should think again.
What made me giggle was the sign language interpreter. When he said the bit about being hit by 20-foot waves, she put her open hand up to her face (as if putting on an invisible mask) and then waggled her index finger in a "no-no" gesture for the "think again" part.
I think getting smacked in the face by 20-foot waves should be at the top of everyone's no-no list in the evacuation area.
